Front Page – “Manafort’s right-hand man set to take stand”: Rick Gates will testify about the alleged fraud/tax evasion of Paul Manafort. At issue are millions of dollars from political consulting done for Ukraine that were not reported to the IRS and, I suppose, generally telling lies.

The Front Page – “Inside China’s Dystopian Dreams: A.I., Shame and Lots of Cameras”: The Chinese Government is interested in using emerging facial recognition and security camera technology to monitor and police their populace.
